Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Fillings

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 5 minutes. In another pan, shred the cooked chicken and mix with lime juice, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse and drain black beans. Heat them in a saucepan over medium heat until warm. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    Chop onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. Slice jalapeños and avocados. Set aside in separate bowls for easy assembly.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat corn tortillas on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Layer your choice of filling (ground beef, shredded chicken, or black beans) onto the warmed tortillas. Top with onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, cheese, avocado, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm with extra lime wedges on the side.
